Long Night in Egypt

Violet Hour Media 12 Episodes Jul 23, 2026

Long Night in Egypt is a supernatural horror audio drama about a group of college students who break into the Pyramid of Unas and become trapped in the Egyptian underworld. They find that the ancient gods—Osiris, Anubis, and the Ennead—are real and waiting to judge every soul entering the Duat. The eight-episode series blends Egyptian mythology with psychological terror and suspense, as the characters struggle to survive tunnels that seem to go deeper than any map shows. The production features original music and sound design, and comes with a warning for depictions of death.

8. The Book of Maps — Series Finale: The Ancient Text That Shows the Way Out of the Underworld Mar 13, 2023 1435 The series finale of Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt — the ancient text that has surrounded them since the beginning is finally readable, and it is the only thing that can lead them out.

7. May Thy Face Look Backward — The Way Out Is Behind Them and Something Is Standing in Front of It Mar 6, 2023 1757 Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt reaches its penultimate episode — the way out exists, but it is not unguarded.

4. An Imperishable Spirit — The Egyptian Underworld Is Real and One of Them May Not Come Back Feb 13, 2023 1724 Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt reaches its first breaking point — the Egyptian underworld is not a metaphor, and not everyone survives the Duat. In ancient Egyptian belief, the soul is composed of multiple parts — the Ba, the Ka, the Ren, the Sheut, and the Akh, the imperishable spirit that survives death if the soul passes judgment. The students are no longer entirely cert

3. When It Is Dark, When It Is Dark — Something Is Moving in the Tunnels and the Lights Are Gone Feb 6, 2023 1487 Egyptian mythology horror podcast Long Night in Egypt plunges into total darkness — and the thing in the tunnels moves closer.
